Coffee or Tea?

Need a daily dose of the shakes caffeine? How do you get it? Share your preference with us.

OH, and...sign up on the nifty lil' LINKY to your right.....see it? We're hosting a blogfest. ON January 27 (it'll be a HOT Thursday) post a picture of your very fave mug in the whole wide beautiful world (on your blog). We'll all come on over to see it! AND THAT'S IT! That's all the blogfest asks you to do. (Unless you feel compelled to share the story behind the mug. Then we'll have fun reading that too!) All we need is TEN more participants and we'll give away not one, but TWO PRIZES!!! (mugs or amazon gift cards...your choice!)

AND. I (christy) need to apologize to all of you. It makes me so very happy happy when you stop by and comment on our posts. BUT, I've been a lousy hopper myself. I promise to make the rounds this weekend. I haven't visited anybody since Monday. I know that's terrible. I'll try to make it up to you. I KNOW you all have intelligent and witty things that I NEED to hear. YOU are all amazing and I learn so much from you.

I love the richness n' depth of coffee, but I also love tea. The time to pause, the warmth, the mysterious oolong, Earl Grey's refreshment, etc.Coffee is moody n' dark and tea is ceremonial, a ritual, a time to pause and reflect. Coffee speaks to my soul, tea refreshes it.

seeing a how my masculinity shrinks every day, I might as well own up to being a tea drinker (nothing fancy, just Lipton, Red Rose, etc.) or else hot chocolate (big fan of Swiss Miss) - but - here's the kicker, I've NEVER had a cup of coffee. Ever!

As for my mug, I use whatever one happens to be clean(est) at the time, but I'll put up a mug shot anyway

Wow, a lot of tea drinkers. I've tried it, really I have. Honestly, though, it seems like a waste of hot water (hangs head in shame for not being cultural and sophisticated).

Mike - my husband hasn't ever tasted coffee, either. He's also never tasted tea. Now that I think about it, I've known him for 16 years and never seen him drink hot chocolate, either. Weird. Oh, and sign up for the blogfest on the linky to your right. Okay, fine, I'll probably sign you up. (sigh)erica

Joanna, that twinning's sounds delicious. I am all for caffeine in any shape or form. I'm mostly a tea drinker, but I do love a luscious latte' or hot chocolate. And a cappuccino after a wonderful Italian meal.

I know I should be writing, but I just had to pop over and see you girls.

About Us

We're writers who met virtually at the 2010 Writeoncon and then met physically at the Writer's Institute in WI in 2011.
Since then we started this blog together, continue to meet through emails, write fiction for young adults, and take care of our children and their laundry.

Together, we wrote a YA mystery novel called THE TEXT MESSAGE. When all seventeen-year-old Nea wanted was for her lazy slob of a brother, Derek, to leave her alone, she didn’t mean forever. Now he's missing and all she has is a text message as a lead to his whereabouts.

Christy is published under the pen name Cecelia Earl. Her novel is available now!

We are trying to communicate that which lies in our deepest heart, which has no words, which can only be hinted at through the means of a story. And somehow, miraculously, a story that comes from deep in my heart calls from a reader that which is deepest in his or her heart, and together from our secret hidden selves we create a story that neither of us could have told alone."— Katherine Paterson
